This thread is for those of you with questions about the Umineko anime or manga. There are many questions that don't need a whole thread to discuss them. A simple practical answer straight from the anime or manga without any speculation can solve these connundrums. If someone has such a question about Umineko which can be solved by answering with facts from an official source, then please ask that question here.

Please don't post in this thread unless you are asking a question or answering one. Please remember that it only takes 1 person to answer a question. And don't speculate! You can only reply with cold, hard, merciliessly unforgivable facts. If you have to speculate, then please just tell the querrant that no answer is known, but here are some facts that might help him make up his own mind.

Make sure you use spoiler tags if your question is about the anime, manga, or any non-anime source. Untagged spoilers are risking a ban. There are two ways to create clearly marked spoiler tags, as shown in the following:

The easy way: By simply clicking on this icon which can be found in the Quick Reply or Reply to Thread template. This is how I create spoiler tags.

or

The macho way: By using those uber vB codes as shown in the following...

Eva was accusing Natsuhi of lying about having met Kinzo, since he hadn't left his room, and yet wasn't in it. The implication is that since she was lying she must have had a motive for lying, and was probably responsible for his disappearance.

What was the deal after Natsuhi and Eva went and found that Kinzo wasn't in his room?
Im alittle confused over what exactly Eva was accusing Natsuhi of.

But I do understand that Battler's explanation basically absolved Natsuhi of guilt (by creating an additional scenario).

Spoiler for Episode1 unexpected event:

- Natsuhi entered Kinzo's room using Genji's key and talked to him.
- Eva who thought there was something fishy about Natsuhi followed her and waited her outside the door.
- When Natsuhi came out from the room, Eva quickly inserted a piece of paper in the closing door. Eva payed good attention at the position the piece of paper was placed
- After a while both Eva and Natsuhi decided to go back to Kinzo
- Eva noticed the piece of paper was in the very same place she placed it
- Kinzo was nowhere to be found. They didn't search thoroughly but according to Eva it is ridiculous to think Kinzo would hide
- After that Eva claims that it was impossible for someone to have opened the door from the time Natsuhi came out from the room till the time they returned inside. Even if they noticed the piece of paper and replaced it, they couldn't have known the exact position
- Eva then claims that Natsuhi is lying and she probably killed Kinzo and threw him out of the window.

Just a note - may I ask that if you're talking about "episodes" to mention whether you're talking about game or anime episodes? Pretty soon the term "episode" will become somewhat ambiguous in this forum.

Sure, there isn't anything to ask about anime episodes just yet, but if anyone wants to read this thread from the beginning in the future, it'll help to know which of the two (game or anime) you are referring to.

What exactly is Lambda's diary? I've heard it mentioned a few times, but I can't find it no matter where I look...

Spoiler for up to game Episode 3:

Here you go.
As far as I know it's an extra something which got published somewhere sometimes, but it's kinda semi-official (?), because it was written by Ryukishi (I'm not 100% sure of that though).
Anyway, it's an interesting thing to read. Do skim through Bern's letter and Anti-mystery vs Anti-fantasy too.

Where does the name Beatrice originates from? Italian or English? And how is it originally pronounced?
Really needed for my translation as the suffix' in Turkish language depends on how a name is pronounced.

Edit: I've found out that it probably originates from Divine Commedy; thus Italian.
Still unclear on pronounciation.

Daisuke Ono in the CD drama pronounces it almost perfectly then by the time you see the anime you'll have a clear idea. Anyway the vowels pronounciation is the same as in japanese, and the "ce" in italian is equal to "che". the final "e" must be spelled. The accent is on the "i".
